Consultation

Requests for services begins with an initial consultation between the investigator, Core Director, Core Proteomics Specialist and, when appropriate, the Bioinformatician to discuss the project goals, experimental design and sample preparation procedures required for successful mass spectrometry analysis. These consultations provide an opportunity to gauge the difficulty of the analysis, eliminate any confusion about sample preparation and, most importantly, increase the chances for successful analysis. At these meetings, Core handouts are provided explaining how to prepare and submit samples.
